Timescales

The sections must be undertaken once a week. They must spend 12 months on the Volunteering section. For the Physical and Skills section, they must spend 12 months on one and 6 months on the other. If your child did not do their Silver Award, they are required to do a further 6 months on either of the activities they did for 12 months.

To summarise, if they have not done Silver, they will do one section for 18 months, another for 12 months and the remaining one for 6 months. Please click here for how to write an Assessor's report.


Commitment & Cost

Although students will have regular check ins with  Miss Overbeck to receive support, we would like to remind you that, as this is an extra-curricular activity, we expect students, as well as parents / carers, to ensure that the different sections are completed and they are done so on time.

Please ensure that your child is committed to completing all five parts of the Award
